Our experiences in Spain  

First of all thank you very much for being such a perfect host, we all enjoyed being in Spain with you! Here are some of our experiences, we tried to collect things that surprised us and wrote one report all together.

We start with the school life:

School started later than in Germany (we start one hour earlier) and ended at 3 pm (in Germany we finish school at 12.50 o`clock and sometimes we have lessons in the afternoon until 4.15 pm). For us it was a big surprise that in Spain the pupils didn’t need to stand up when the teacher came into the classroom and they changed their seats during the lessons. Also the students called their teachers by their first names, and the teachers weren’t very strict.

The biggest problem for us during the lessons was the language, because no teacher spoke English, except English teachers. In Germany almost everybody speaks a little bit English. Another funny thing was that the pupils were not separated in PE, in Germany boys and girls are separated in these lessons.

Now our experiences with our guest families:

In the Spanish houses you needn't take off your shoes, in Germany you usually do this when you enter a room. Additionally the meals are later than in Germany e.g. dinner is at 10 pm or later. In Germany we eat at approximately 7 pm! For us it was also very surprising that Spanish people don’t drink water with bubbles.

The impression we had from the Spanish:

The Spanish girls like blonde boys and the people in Spain are not very tall. Youths  meet each other very often and at every meeting they give kisses to the others. In Germany we just hug each other, if we are good friends.

Most of the parents couldn`t speak English but they were very very nice. They cared a lot for us, and fulfilled all our wishes. The people there are very friendly and maybe like we, very crazy. J And of course, they showed us many funny and great things in their hometown to entertain us, e.g. the day in the park, where the dog left a gift for us  :D
